Abstract The integrated test of weapons and equipment is an urgent need for the development under contemporary information conditions, because it can reduce resource requirements, cost risk, as well improve efficiency degree confidence. This paper based on objective requirements evaluation system test, aims at performance equipment. For same testing, means to analysis factors that affect perfor...

In Information Systems research there are a growing number of studies that must necessarily draw upon the contexts, experiences and narratives of practitioners. This calls for research approaches that are qualitative and may also be interpretive. These may include case studies or action research projects. For some researchers, particularly those with limited experience of interpretive qualitati...

In this paper we propose a strict separation between the information system specification and implementation stage. In order to allow for more active user participation in the information system specification process we also advocate a strong connection between the information use and specification stage. Some deficiencies of current approaches are criticized. A specification method aimed at re...

Event studies, which look at stock market reactions to assess corporate business events, represent a relatively new research approach in the information systems field. In this paper we present a systematic review of thirty event studies related to information technology. After a brief discussion of each of the papers included in our review, we call attention to several limitations of the publis...

T paper confirms the evidence of diversity in information systems (IS) research and identifies the v^ays in which diversity both threatens and advances the field of IS. While advocating diversity within the field of IS, the paper also discusses the responsibilities that must be assumed by IS researchers. Responsibilities include a "disciplined methodological pluralism" (Landry and Banville 1992...

This paper reports on a panel held during the 2006 International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). The panel titled, “Social Activism in IS Research: Making the World a Better Place,” was organized to question whether and how Information System (IS) research is making tangible impacts to our society. More specifically, each panelist was asked to address: (1) How can IS research, and res...

As information systems (IS) are increasingly able to create highly engaging and interactive experiences, the phenomenon of flow is considered a promising vehicle to understand pre-adoptive and post-adoptive IS user behavior. However, despite a strong interest of researchers and practitioners in flow, the reliability, validity, hypothesized relationships, and measurement of flow constructs in cu...
